We recently ported an application from advantage to dbisam.
We are using the C/S mode.
We noticed throughout the application, that the local workstations memory use of
application increases throughout the session.
All we are doing is opening tables and master detail.
Is there any way to reduce the memory use of the local workstations?

Dear Jerry,

I cannot answer your question as I only use query components, but as your question is
basically a "general" question I would suggest you post it on DBISAM/GENERAL as there are
a lot more people reviewing questions there.

Also, they might want to know the type of client machine & whether you are connecting
LAN/INTERNET etc.

Since its on the local workstation I'd suspect your software rather than DBISAM. My guess is you're not freeing something (possibly tables). If you're using D2006 enable FastMM to tell you about memory leaks otherwise download and install FastMM (its free) and see what it tells you.

>>install FastMM (its free) and see what it tells you.

I would strongly endorse this ... I put FastMM in & saw a close to 30% increase in
performance in my app. ... an amazing benefit for a free tool, and it will tell you what
is 'hanging around' in your program.

Did you check the application for memory leaks ?  As indicated by others,
using FastMM for this purpose will work great.
